After I decided on the perfect appetizer, it was time to chose the perfect main course. I decided on spicy shrimp; the recipe I used I had adapted from The Pioneer Woman (I highly recommend her blog, it's full of fun & useful info). This dish is one of our favorite meals so I knew Kevin would be pleasantly surprised. I was *planning* on baking homemade bread but, I had soooo many errands to run that I totally ran out of time. Instead, I cheated and used a "roll and bake" Italian loaf from Pillsbury. The Ingredients don't really have exact measurements - and, I'm soooo bad about writing down the exact measurements I use.
Ingredients:
Shrimp
Olive Oil (Enough to coat thoroughly)
Tabasco (I used a few shakes of the bottle)
Worcestershire (1/8 - 1/4 cup)
Salt (1/2 Tablespoon)
Pepper (1/4 Pepper)
Butter (1/2 Stick cut into pats and placed over the shrimp)
Lemon (I squeezed a 1/2 lemon over the top shrimp)
Throw the shrimp on a baking pan and douse it with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Tabasco, salt, pepper, and butter. Then, put the pan under the broiler for about ten minutes or until the shrimp are no longer translucent. Serve with hot bread; I highly recommend dipping the bread into the sauce that forms on the bottom of the pan - it's awesome!!!
